Project Honda CB750 K2 Part 18 - Tank Lining Two!

As we approach the end of his ‘working’ restoration, Mark shows us the last part of sorting the tank.

Last time we looked at preparing the tank and cleaning it out but before we move on to applying the coating, sometimes you might find the cleaning process troublesome.

Photo 1 shows inside the tank of a bike I bought recently. Apart from rust there was some brown/cream substance that appeared to have been poured in. Scraping at the stuff with a screwdriver showed thick rust underneath (photo 2). It got worse, as there were lumps of the same stuff rattling around inside, which were forced out of the filler hole (photo 3). I think this was a product called Kreem and the application process did not work. It would need to be removed. But how?
